I just read a Dutch article about the new RRS HST.
The writer said that you can get the HST as an expansion-kit on the S/C.
So you will still be able to buy the S/C and the HST-kit will be an option (in Holland). But it will only be available on the S/C

I'll write an email to the Dutch Land Rover dealership for confirmation.

That would be sooooooo much better, giving the customer a choice... Hopefully they do the same in the US market and offer the HST trim as an extra cost option rather than force-feeding it to us, they'd still find plenty of takers and avoid disgruntling a bunch of existing and new owners. 

I had a look at an HST at Hadley Green LR today - it was out the back with a SOLD sign on it.

It really is hideous - the fronts just flat, and those exhausts look plain silly !

Thats one post under my belt - more to follow !!!

Just ordered a MY 2007 Java Black RRS here in Canada. The dealer showed me the specs and very few changes were made over the 2006. PTI is now standard and passenger get power windows features.

Lined Oak was a no charge option but I don't like black oak so I went with the Cherry instead.

Now the long waiting until October/November

Welcome Tony - excellent first post!!! I think the HST is suicide, esp if it's going to be the ONLY S/C format for 2007.

Can anyone confirm, that the 4.4 V8 MY2007, will have the S/C exhausts?

Cheers,

Okay, Land Rover The Netherlands has put the MY2007 specifications for the FFRR online.
Maybe they will be similar compared with the RRS. These are the changes

Discontinued:
TD6 SE
TD6 HSE
TD6 Vogue

Unchanged:
V8 SE Price (MY2006): 105.100 euro's, Price (MY2007): 111.000 euro
V8 HSE Price (MY2006): 111.500 euro, Price (MY2007): 120.400 euro
V8 Vogue Price (MY2006): 129.000 euro, Price (MY2007): 130.300 euro
Supercharged Price (MY2006): 141.000 euro, Price (MY2007): 142.800

NEW!:
TDV8 SE Price (MY2007): 102.000 euro
TDV8 HSE Price (MY2007): 111.400 euro
TDV8 Vogue Price (MY2007): 121.300 euro
TDV8 Vogue SE Price (MY2007): 135.900 euro
Supercharged SE Price (MY2007): 155.800 euro

So now we have a Supercharged SE and a Vogue SE

Difference between Vogue and Vogue SE:

Vogue SE has: Cooled seats, DVD Entertainment-system, Ski-hatch (or whatever it's called), Automatic dimmed side-mirrors.

Difference between Supercharged and Supercharged SE:
Same as the difference between the Vogue and Vogue SE

I don't know if there are any changes to the SE, HSE and Vogue trims, because the price changes are huge

I see there is no more cherry wood, just rhodium, walnut and oak.

...does anyone know why?

and what does the walnut look like?

I really liked the cherry.
